The musical tells the story of an Indian girl, Amal, whose childhood was stolen. She lived a life of misery in a world of adults who trampled on her childhood, throwing her into a sad silence without hope. Sophie is a Salesian volunteer who has just opened a dance school at the Salesian Oratory. She invites Amal to participate in a project on the great music hits. She earns Amal’s trust and becomes her friend and a point of reference. Amal receives the attention and affection that she so much wanted, rediscovers the joy and innocence of being a child and, perhaps, even the warmth of a family.
The Salesian Institute Director, Fr Juan Peris, expressed his gratitude for the event. "This was a musical activity and a shared exercise of solidarity that creates an educational community. The title of this concert is Amar written with an L. It refers to the intrinsic message of the concert. It is a humanitarian project and for that reason we appreciate here the presence of Iván Rodríguez, President of the NGO 'Juegaterapia' which offers games and horizons full of life for children with cancer."
The proceeds will go entirely to UNICEF for its project "Drops for Niger", and to programmes of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and precisely the NGO "Juegaterapia".
The musical "AMAL, spelt with an L" exceeded all expectations. on the one hand, it was a real musical, totally original. And on the other hand, it showed how the Salesian Family can be of help.
